Sweet Pepper Nachos
Sweet Pepper Nachos – all the flavor and hardly any carbs! It doesn’t get much better than that! Replacing Tortilla Chips with Sweet Bell Peppers is seriously the easiest way to have your Nachos and eat them too! Here is a step-by-step instruction on how to make them!
Ingredients:
- 1lb Ground Turkey
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 15oz can Black Beans, drained
- 1 15oz can Sweet Corn, drained
- 1/2 Red Onion, diced
- 8 Grape Tomatoes, quartered
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 24-30 Sweet Peppers
- 2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 8oz Sour Cream
- 1/2 cup Pickled Jalapenos
Supplies
Baking Sheet
Cutting Board
Knife
Mixing Bowl
Cook Up the Meat
Start by browning some ground turkey with 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, chili powder and cumin. Crumble and cook until no longer pink
Make the Black Bean and Corn Mixture
Combine the beans, corn, onion, tomatoes, and lemon juice in a bowl.
Prepare the Sweet Peppers
Now comes the preparation of the Sweet Bell Peppers. You first cut the top off. Then you cut it in half so that you have the widest remaining pieces. Then you scrap the ribs and seeds out and then you have a good “chip” for the nachos.
Build the Nachos
Place all the prepped sweet bell peppers on a baking sheet (oven should be preheated to 425deg). Put a portion of the cooked ground turkey on each bell pepper. Then a portion of the black bean & corn mixture. Then sprinkle cheese over all of it. Put it in the oven for 15 minutes
Plate and Enjoy!
Once the nachos are cooked, plate a portion. Then top with sour cream and pickled jalapeno, as desired.
